Don't see why he wouldn't enter the next GSL.

His mechanical skills are already in place and he'd only need a few hundred games under his belt to get familiar with SC2 and make himself one of the tournament favourites.

Presumably it's the pro-gamer lifestyle he's had enough of (living with a bunch of nerds, being forced to practice for 12 hours a day under constant supervision), which wouldn't be required to have some decent short term success in SC2.

Is there any truth to the rumor that relentless pressure from Kim Dong Woo was the reason Effort decided to retire?

Really felt out of the blue, so far we've only really seen older players go, it's a real shock that someone this good is going.

he doesn't want to play SC2, that's the thing. just because it would be relatively easy for him to enter and do well doesn't mean it's appealing >_> he just wants to work on his education and start a new career ^^

Yeah CJ is a completely different team right now . It's a pity , because Effort had great potential . His APM was always over 400 and his multitasking and management were one of the best . He beat Flash in a Bo 5 to make a comeback from 0 - 2 in the OSL finals and also beat him in PL and in MSL . He could have become the next Jaedong ...

NOOOOO!! Effort was the second best zerg. Now, it'll just be Jaedong and maybe Action. A big maybe on Action
